Sayu grabbed her bag and looked at him, "Please explain yourself then… If I'm supposed to be working with you I'd like to understand what makes you tick. And why… All sorts of whys."
He grinned, "Your friends are nosy… I'll walk with you." He stood up and walked closely next to her. "Once upon a time…" She shot him a nasty glare, "Oh please. Don't glare at me like that… I don't have the best people skills…" She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Anyway, my mother… She was supposed to give birth to a stillborn, a son, who was never meant to take his first breath because of a terrible call, from a pompous doctor who was tired and wanted to go home to his mistress, rather than his wife." He gave a cruel smile.
Sayu stared at him with wide eyes. "Alright…"
He nodded his head back and forth happily, "Indeed. But, my mother had caught the fancy of a Shinigami… And Light, fill in Miss Sayu the only way to kill a Shinigami…"
Light rolled his eyes and hovered behind them, "Love. If a Shinigami loves a human and acts using the death note to save the human they die and the remaining lifespan of the human is lengthened…"
Beyond nodded, "She would have committed suicide at the loss of her son, because of the complications and high risk pregnancy she was left barren. Could no longer bare anymore children… Fate's way of preventing a monster, I suppose." They walked passed a group of people gathered at a public television watching the the mysterious deaths on the news, Beyond slipped his hand into the crowd and yanked out a wallet, he smirked, pulled the money from it and dropped the wallet as they continued. "But, the Shinigami loved her… So, he killed the doctor… The standing-in doctor called for an emergency C-section… Saving a life that was never meant to be. Though my immunity to the death notes wasn't discovered until one was used against me…" He gave a nasty glare towards Light, "But, I could always see the names and lifespans of those around me." He gave her a devious smirk and a side glance.
Sayu had her eyes narrowed in thought trying to wrap her head around the circumstances of her new companion. "So… How are you here? Can you see mine?"
"Airplane. Do I need to explain those too? No, you're a death note owner, none of that information is available to me through my eyes."
She gave him a stern glare, "That's not what I meant!"
He grinned, "I know, but I like flustering you, you're so full of emotion… It's refreshing." They passed by a vendor that had homemade goods. He stopped and grabbed a jar of strawberry jam and handed the woman the money he had stole.
"Sir! This is too much!" The vendor called to him.
He just gave a careless wave, "Consider it a tip." He popped it open and dug his finger into it greedily.
Sayu scrunched her nose, 'Ew.' She sighed as they passed another street vendor, she pulled a tester spoon from the stall and handed it to him, "At least, use a spoon." He gave the spoon a snarl, "Look, just while we're in public, we don't need to draw attention to ourselves. I don't care how you eat it in private."
He sighed and took the spoon and eyed it cautiously, "Light stopped my heart, I laid there… Aware but not awake… Do you have any idea how painful being embalmed is? It's terrible. Don't ask. Apparently, Watari felt guilty or something, because they normally just cremate prisoners. He paid for funeral expenses… They would have better off cremating me." He gave her a smirk. "But, they absolved most of the funds and put in me a normal pine box and threw me in a shallow grave behind the prison in the back forty… Cute, right?" He dug the spoon into the jar and popped it into his mouth playfully with an innocent smile. Sayu betrayed a small smirk. He pulled the spoon out of his mouth, "You have a nice smile. You should do it more often."
Light scoffed and Sayu blushed slightly, "Uh. Thanks. Where are you staying?"
He shrugged, "I'm not. I've just been breaking into homes, stealing food and using the shower and laundry facilities. When they aren't home, of course, talk about awkward." He smirked.
Sayu stared at him astonished, "You really are resourceful." He shrugged and discarded the small empty jar in a nearby garbage.
He smirked, "Your friends are very nosy…" He pointed over his shoulder with his thumb without looking back. Sayu glanced back and saw the girls dip behind a vendor, she smiled softly. 'They're probably worried because I've never mentioned anything about a blind date.' He grabbed her hand and pushed her against a building, whispering into her ear, "So, Kira… Unless you have a better plan, I'll find you."
He face flushed instantly, "Uh. I suppose you could stay with me… I mean, what happens if I needed you and couldn't contact you." She received a sharp glare from Light.
Beyond raised an eyebrow, "That's entirely up to you…" Light shook his head disapprovingly and Sayu sighed and nodded. "You'd let someone live with you. Just like that? Sheesh. We need to work on your survival skills. You're too trusting… I won't hurt you, but jeez, I could be a serial killer for all you know." He gave her a sinister smirk.
She stared flatly at him, "That's not funny."
He shrugged, "It is a little." He pulled away from her ear and held his hand out for her to grab, "I guess if we're going to be followed, I should play the part a little better."
Sayu blushed a little and shot Light a glare, "Go away if it bothers you. You can't kill him anyway."
Beyond gave Light a smug, crooked smile, "Run along then…"
Light rolled his eyes, "I find this in poor taste." He faded.
Beyond grabbed her hand and pulled her along, "So… I've never dated anyone before and don't even know where to begin…"
Sayu shrugged, "Most normal people go to dinner and a movie."
He gave her a lame glare, "Do I look like a normal guy? That and you can't talk to each other in a movie… We should spend time getting to know each other if we're going to make this a believable charade."
Sayu sighed, "What's there to know. You're a serial killer and I'm a mass murderer."
Beyond gave her a slightly disappointed stare, "Okay, but let's pretend, for a minute, people don't know that. I mean general shit you actually learn from another person." They passed a vendor that had a large amount of flowers. Beyond stopped and stared at them.
Sayu stopped, "What's the matter?" Beyond smiled slightly and handed the woman a small amount of money and handed Sayu a small cluster of Alyssum. Sayu blinked a couple of times and smelled them. "What's this?"
Beyond smiled and interlocked his arm with hers, "First of all, we're being watched. Second of all, they mean worth beyond beauty."
She blushed brightly, "You…"
"Know the language of flowers? Sometimes, I'd spend more time with the flowers than other people. It's rude to give a Japanese woman a rose. I know that much." He smirked at her. "You're beauty isn't your only quality." She smiled slightly trying to hide the hue on her cheeks, 'He's well studied.'
They continued to walk down the street with their perusers in awe but still determined. They walked past a violinist who started playing Carmen Fantasie, he smiled deviously at her, "Can you dance?"
She stared at him in surprise, "What? No!"
He pulled her close to him and smirked, "Then follow my lead." He placed a hand on her waist and the other took her hand and he led her slightly before spinning her around. She clumsily followed his lead, an awkward grin on her face the whole time. The group clapped to the beat, "I love gypsys." He laughed and pulled her along in a dance. She smiled and took her shoes off and dropped her bag and danced with him in the street. A large crowd gathered to watch them and some started dancing as well. The song's tempo spend up and he plunged her into a dip. She laughed loudly.
She glanced over to where her bag was and watched as a guy picked it up and started running, "Hey! That's mine!" She grabbed her shoes and started chasing him. As she was running a small rock flew by her head and knocked the guy upside the head knocking him over.
Beyond ran past her with a grin and walked up to the guy, he bent over and picked her bag up, "Thank you!" He then emptied the thief's wallet, "And thank you! You have a blessed day, sir!" Beyond gave him a quick kick to the ribs and he handed her back her bag.
She stared at him wide eyed, "Where are you from?"
He laughed, "Los Angeles. The city of Lost Angels." He held his arm out for her and she grinned and took it and they continued on. Beyond dropped half the money he stole from the thief into the tip case of the street band. The violinist smiled and tipped his hat. Beyond nodded at him and they continued down the street. Sayu glanced back to see her friends had stopped following them and started watching the musicians, she chuckled and slipped her shoes back on. "They aren't following us anymore. I've learned how to lose people in a crowd." Beyond wore a straight face.
Sayu sighed, "So. What now?" He shrugged, "I'm starving! I have a bunch of stuff at my apartment. I planned on making dinner tonight, if I don't it will just sit in my refrigerator and spoil."
"Then what are we waiting for?" He smirked.
